      You're on to something there. That would be a riot to see & hear. Really would like to see someothing like that happen. "Hey Tina! Please read this & oblige us." Lieutenant Cheeseliver said:

      Heck yeah it is.
      You know how some of the legends sort of can't carry on that torch many years after their prime?
      Despite not getting completely gaga over her 80's and 90's material, she still keeps a strong pace going head to head with the more mainstream sounding stuff at the time. Stuff like "We Don't Need Another Hero" or "What's Love Got To Do With It" is pretty listenable and doesn't really make me cringe like some of the output of the veterans.


      yeah, you're right... Tina probably gets away with it cause she's a very classy lady with a voice that could melt concrete! I just wonder what she could do with a contemporary r&r band, like what Mary Weiss did with the Oblivians, y'know...just put her with a backing band that's got some decent taste, and away from those E-Street Band type bands she sings with on Oprah Winfrey and the like..

      I'd love to see her do some stripped back early 60s southern soul type of thing...She's still got a great voice & looks amazing!!

      'Puppy Love' is such a killer tune. That's probably my favourite of hers. Her early-mid 60s stuff is top notch!!

      Hi Sara! Wow! Great stuff here! That's a great video of the FIL/WOF medley. It's hard to sit still and listen. LOL Nice memory of your parent's first date. You're like a Turner Tot lovechild. Sara said:
      THANKS MMM, cool footage! Tina is so fantastic. Check out "Fool in Love" into "Work out fine"..

      I love "Can't Believe What You Say" too, this is just a bit of old footage....
      My mom and pop's first date was at an Ike and Tina show, I guess you could say I owe it all to them!
